Premier League Club Moves for Rodrygo, Real Madrid Sets €80M Price Tag

Liverpool and Guardiola Keep an Eye on Madrid’s Brazilian Star

The future is already in motion at Real Madrid, and club president Florentino Pérez is hard at work shaping the squad for the 2025–2026 season.

“It’s hard to match what we’ve done. We’re going to keep fighting for more titles. We’ve started the season with two trophies, and let’s see what else we can win—La Liga, the Champions League, and more. Having a great team is the most important thing. That’s been my focus all these years, and we’ve achieved so much. We want to keep winning. This is the result of years of hard work from many people. The world is full of Madridistas. It’s both a satisfaction and a responsibility, and I’ll continue working to bring them joy,” said Pérez recently.

But beyond signing new talent, Pérez is also focused on keeping the most important players for Carlo Ancelotti’s project.

The only uncertainty? Rodrygo Goes. Every summer, the Brazilian winger finds himself surrounded by transfer rumors—especially with the financial power of Premier League clubs looming.

In addition to Pep Guardiola’s long-standing interest in signing Rodrygo, Liverpool have also kept him on their radar. With potential exits looming for Mo Salah or Luis Díaz, the Reds see Rodrygo as a prime target. However, they are reportedly unwilling to pay more than €80 million, a figure Real Madrid has set as the minimum for any negotiation.

Liverpool are waiting to see how things unfold, and some speculate that this could be their “revenge” for the expected departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid on June 30.

Rodrygo’s Position is Clear

For Real Madrid, the most crucial factor is the will of their number 11. And Rodrygo has repeatedly expressed his desire to stay.

“I’m doing great, feeling very confident. Honestly, the last couple of months were tough due to injuries. I couldn’t play and wasn’t feeling good physically, but now I’m improving every day. Each game I feel better. This holiday break will be good for us to rest and come back stronger next year. I want to keep scoring and helping my team,” Rodrygo said in a recent interview.

With his loyalty and growth, Rodrygo remains an essential part of Real Madrid’s present—and future.
